For dark film buffs

Remove all ads!

Alright, I used Google to find the last five (or else curiosity would've kept me up all night). I never heard of the dark cave and the basket man ones. I should have gotten the straight jacket one. I've heard of the back to back guys, but never would have gotten the clue, and the mommy with the kiddos was just lame.

I'm still surprised I got as many as I did, considering I probably saw about ten movies from that list (yeah, I know, I don't know my classics, but I'm not a big horror fan).

Harbs, count the steps (the answer was already given on the previous page).

And DR, you will see Vukodlak's hint was actually quite useful, when you know the answer. Prepare to hit yourself on the head.

 

Ok, now I have them all. I shamefully admit to looking online for the answers to the last two. I'm a dirty, dirty whore.

But hey - at least I can think about something else now.

 

32. Still can't get the other two stair related ones.

 

Wonder if one of us should post a comprehensive hint list...

Any requests?

 

I can't get the tunnel one either.

 

That one was tough for me, too - and I needed help. So here's a hint.

The tunnel is extremely dark. So dark in fact, one might say that it's...

 

Well I thought the 2 men would be the hardest...

Got 49 - just that 'spy' in the window (as BarmyArmy says), bet it is too obvious for me.

@Death Rabbit:
The dangling baby - ignore both kids and concentrate on who is holding them;
The dark cavern - think of a baseball mound and the colour of "darkness"...

 

You must be late posting this, Rock...I got 'em already. Thanks though.

 

Still no idea on:
- black tunnel
- kids dancing
- woman on stairs
- men on stairs
- woman holding kids
- planets crashing
- where the hell another 12 clues even are.

 

@Harbourboy:
black tunnel - see my last (late) post
kids dancing - "chucky 1"
woman on stairs - see previous clues (David Lynch, cloth type)
men on stairs - they don't like each other, so they have a ...
woman holding kids - see last (late) post... and Egypt
planets crashing -
"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

 

37.

Still can't get:
- the spears sticking out of the ball of wool
- the dark tunnel
- the guy with the lamp
- man with pumpkin on head
- where another 9 clues are.

 

Wow...you may NEVER finish this thing.

C'mon man, think...what color is it...those aren't spears...

 

Arrows from the orange ball?

Still on 37. And I haven't yet hit the handicap of not having heard of the movies (that other people have). I've heard of all them so far, but I'm still stuck.

 

Look at the position of the "arrows" (hint - they aren't arrows). What kind of circular object has "arrows" pointed in a similar manner? And what other spherical objects are also orange?

This was the first one I got on the page. I thought it was by far the most obvious.

 

Ohhhhh.

41.

Still stuck on:
- shadow in tower
- tunnel
- man with lamp
- leprechaun in tree
- house with big door
- man with pumpkin on head
- the mountain
- the grim reaper
- the tied up fella.

This is hard, mainly for my lack of knowledge of old horror movies.

HB:

There is only one movie about a leprechaun, and you just told me.

 

Well that was no help. So I'm still stuck on 41.

 

The answer is in the question you asked.

 

How dumb. 8 to go.

 

- shadow in tower - That's not a shadow, but an extra terrestial (And no, E.T. is not a horror movie).
- man with lamp - Barmy spoiled this one on page 1, but ignore the man, the lamp gives light.
- man with pumpkin on head - Try this one with three words less, and you got it.
- the mountain - They are two very identical mounting tops (think David Lynch).
- the tied up fella - Well, he looks insane. He must be a ... (think Hitchcock).
